(10 at Gamespot) Official GTA thread - Keep it here or face SUSPENSION!

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]

Well the multiplayer is fantastic, played many hours of it, though there are still some gripes.

The multiplayer host setup is ultra clunky - its randomness of host choices sucks.

The Netcode is also fairly good, but really shows rough edges now and again - for what its doings though its great.

Defitnaly one of the best MP games out there.

Always-Honest

what modes did you like best?

Hangmans noose is a major letdown though. Well from the first mission that I have played.... Are there multiple missions or just this single repeating one?

Deathmatch and Team deathmatch are great, depending on the location you play in. Why people choose the prison, god knows - a whole island is a blast

Has anybody else picked up a hooker and brought them to a nice dark quiet spot? All I have to say is wow and then lol. I picked up 3 hookers in a row, ran them over and got my money back, and after Michelle called me and I took her out and invited myself in, ha. This game is crazy. Anyway, I had a question, Rockstar got in trouble because of the Hot Coffee which depicts acts of intercourse and made it a minigame right?

maffia missions seems like a lot of fun.. will try some tonight. thanx.

cops and crooks and race with guns seem like fun to.

So far the only things I can complain about this game are.

1. Nonstop calling from friends.

2. Cops everywhere.

3. Not constantly doing stuff with friends will lower their like and respect whether they call you or not.

4. Trains are worthless and so are sub ways.

5. I never heard more then 10 songs on the radio. 6 out of 10 being rap, which I hate.

6. Racing...

7. Using a slow car to get to a mission only to find out you have to chase someone down...

8. Radio stations never stay on the channel you put them on.

9. Taxi can't drive for crap and are forced to warp.

10. Getting armor is annoying... LJ picks some really stupid places to sell to you.

I could go on but, thats the main things that annoy me. I would still give this game a 10 just for the story and the shoot outs.

We'll, after taking a good week or so off from posting to play this game in its entirety I must say that (so far) i'm a little unimpressed. Its a great game with a lot of detail and polish, but its lacking some of the indepth elements of the original games. Owning properties was one of my favorite things in the previous games.Vandalvideo

i think it's great they left out all that "second life" nonsense. my only gripe is the driving. the rest is great

ah, you want to be considered hardcore.. sure buddy..

i'm just glad they filtered out the nonsense.

@ Truth_hurts_u......

So far the only things I can complain about this game are.

1. Nonstop calling from friends.

Uh, I hate to break it to you but friends do that.

2. Cops everywhere.

It's like that in NY. You should see Yankee Stadium on game night.Any high crime area

3. Not constantly doing stuff with friends will lower their like and respect whether they call you or not.

Once again, people are like that.

5. I never heard more then 10 songs on the radio. 6 out of 10 being rap, which I hate.

Leave it on a non rap station..Problem solved. Or custom soundtracks FTW.

10. Getting armor is annoying... LJ picks some really stupid places to sell to you.

[spoiler] Go to the weapons shop...You did meet Dimitri, right? [/spoiler]

The game has issues, but I really don't know of any GTA game without issues. You just make your way, y'now..

Uh, I hate to break it to you but friends do that.

I don't even wanna look at their cell phone bill at the end of the month.

Maybe if your friends had more going on in their life it wouldn't be like that. I'm glad mine don't call me much. I usally get e-mails from them or they tell me to look at their my space page.

2. Cops everywhere.

It's like that in NY. You should see Yankee Stadium on game night.Any high crime area

So in NY they have 5 cops per city block? How does the city pay for that and why is crime still so high?

3. Not constantly doing stuff with friends will lower their like and respect whether they call you or not.

Once again, people are like that.

But in the game it's only been 5-7 days... Do you really do stuff with all you friends in 1 week every week?

5. I never heard more then 10 songs on the radio. 6 out of 10 being rap, which I hate.

Leave it on a non rap station..Problem solved. Or custom soundtracks FTW.

Just about every single station has rap on... LOL! Problem not solved. When I do put it on my station... IT's ALWAYS THE SAME SONG.... I'm at the point of just turning the music voliume all the way off.

Y'know, I really didn't want to take it there. But whatever. Yes My phone rings a lot. It's a hallmark of POPULARITY. But I guess that's a problem for you. My friends have jobs (some own their own businesses) and we go out a lot, so communication is important. I don't sit in front of TV all day playing games..Yes, I have a life. I don't get your attitude. I was olny trying to help.I can see why you are having problems with the "friendship" aspect of the game..

It isn't 5 cops per block, but there is a huge police presence here. There is a lot of people here. The amount of police relfect that. As for the game, I don't really have that much of an issue with them..

3. Not constantly doing stuff with friends will lower their like and respect whether they call you or not.

Once again, people are like that.

But in the game it's only been 5-7 days... Do you really do stuff with all you friends in 1 week every week?

NO, But people will tend to think that you are giving them the brush off and not want to deal with you as much. Again, in the game it's exaggerated, but that's to be expected as everything in the game is a bit over the top.

5. I never heard more then 10 songs on the radio. 6 out of 10 being rap, which I hate.

Like I said CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS. Unless you have the PS3 version.

So then you should know where the gun shop is.

Does anyone know the title of the D-block and papoose songs on Beat FM?

Those Styles P and Jadakiss songs are the best in the game ?

I don't know why so many games find it so hard to set up a good MP system! That's why I love PC gaming,dedicated servers.

The MP in GTA4 is really fun,but the host system is clunky,and I find waiting in lobbies for people to join is no fun. Also what really pisses me off is when I try to leave one cops n crooks game for another,but it drops me right back into the same game!

Y'know, I really didn't want to take it there. But whatever. Yes My phone rings a lot. It's a hallmark of POPULARITY. But I guess that's a problem for you.

Umm... Ok I didn't say no one had a life. Putting words in someone's post isn't very nice. I said if they had more going on in their life they wouldn't be ringing your phone off the hook.

Then you insult me and say I have a problem with friends.

I think you should take your own advice.

Dirt and sleeping.

I only got 1 discount ever and that was for a micro uzi. Every time I hit up a gun shop it's still full price. So i have no idea what you are talking about.

Completely unneccessary when, like I said..I was only trying to help you out. You had some issues with the game, I had suggestions. Saying my friends don't have much going on in their life because they call me a lot is silly.

You went there, I responded.

I'm sorry your so jumpy, that you jumped to the conclusion that I ment that they had no lifes.

For one... People have fixed incomes. They can't go out on social events every week. The price of gas is high. I don't have rich friends. They have money issues time to time. They have alot going on in their life.

2nd my friends have other friends. They don't just depend on me to keep them happy.

Your the one insulting me... So that is completely unnecessary.

The interview will appear sometime later, I remember that mission, it won't appear right away, just wait maybe like half a day, and it'll show up.

Where do I find different choppers? I can only find ones at the helitour bit.

Has anybody else picked up a hooker and brought them to a nice dark quiet spot? All I have to say is wow and then lol. I picked up 3 hookers in a row, ran them over and got my money back, and after Michelle called me and I took her out and invited myself in, ha. This game is crazy. Anyway, I had a question, Rockstar got in trouble because of the Hot Coffee which depicts acts of intercourse and made it a minigame right?

ReverseCycology

I haven't found any hookers to pick up yet. Where you picking them up from?

And yeah, Rockstar got in trouble for showing the sex within the game where you had option of what to do with the chick. This time they're just making noises without showing the scene.

Cool, thanks. :D

The private dances are full of :lol:, I love what the strippers say.

So, who is winning on the sales front?

And, does the PS3 version work properly yet?

Does anyone else think, with GTAIV getting perfect 10s all over the place, that people were a little harsh on Saints Row? I loved that game, and after waiting for GTA all this time, i gotta say that while GTA is definately the better game, Saints Row was hardly annihilated by it. It's just as good in many respects and not quite as good in others, however there are also many areas in which it's significantly better.

I think if GTA is a perfect 10, Saints Row is at least a AAA game...

Well, GTA IV isn't a perfect game, infact no game is. it has a few minor flaws and a not so good multi-player but still fun. But i do agree Saints Row is a very good game and it does deserve a 9.0

Question for the players who enjoy the lighter pursuits in the game. Has anyone actually picked up a date from the online dating site? I have 3 strikes so far. Though I have to say the gold diggers rejection mail was the funniest; "sorry, you're too young and healthy for me" :lol::lol:

So, anybody having better luck than me at lovemeet.net?

I haven't played the game, but the demo was enough for me to tell, they try to be GTA so hard, from mission structure to the satiric humor, originality was what made and still makes GTA an amazing franchise. Saints Row needs to find it's own niche, not try to pry it's way into one that it have no place in.

Don't be surprised when the controversy continues to grow and GTA IV ends up getting rated AO. I'm expecting to happen at some point, even though there is really no basis for it. AvIdGaMeR444

I don't think it'll happen, people advocating against the drunk driving have place for argument, but if they think they're going to get something out of it, they're sadly mistaken. The option to get drunk is there, but not encouraged, they even say in the game, it's a wiser choiuce to take a tazi, and if you don't, the game is almost unplayable really. I've even had a case where I got drunk and drove a car for 10 seconds, and got a wanted level, which eventually somehow led to them killing me.
